Driving from Columbus,TX to Fort Stockton, TX was a long, dark day with huge gray clouds low over the plain of Texas into the hills of west Texas. It misted on and off, we never saw the sun all day. Marty took these two pics out the car window. Very cold and dreary. We kept our spirits up by pretending we were part of Mary and Joseph's group going to Bethlehem. There we plenty of cattle and sheep now also along the way in pastures so it was easy to imagine. Must have been a long hard day for them too, what with Mary due to have her baby soon.
Well, we laughed a little too. Question: " How many seniors does it take to open a new water bottle?" Answer: "Two. One to hold the bottle and the other to twist the top off." (true story) One more for your laugh a day: When we got close to Fort Stockton and were looking for the exit off I-10 it was dark and rainy. I told Marty if it got any worse outside we'd have to use Braille to find the Hotel!" Smile a little today and remember it's Christmas week. Be Blessed!
After a long 7 hours of driving we arrived at the LaQuinta Inn at Fort Stockton,TX and found this lovely lobby all decorated for Christmas! What a wonderful holiday spirit it gave us, like home away from home.
